CLINICAL PROCEDURES

Catalog description

The clinical procedures course is designed to provide initial exposure to procedures that students may encounter and perform during clinical rotations. This course will focus on the basic techniques needed to be successful. Procedures during clinical rotations will be supervised by preceptors and will build on the procedures discussed and demonstrated during this course. Emphasis will be placed on common procedures seen in multiple settings of clinical practice. The student will be given the opportunity to practice hands-on clinical procedures in preparation for clinical rotation. The course will also serve as orientation for the clinical year and will ensure students' readiness for the clinical phase.
